GStreamer | gst-plugins-base | Ver: HEAD CVS
Summary: SubRip subtitles starting from 0 not recognised
Product: GStreamer
Version: HEAD CVS
Platform: Other
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: Normal
Component: gst-plugins-base
AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
ReportedBy: robin.stocker at gmx.ch
QAContact: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
GNOME version: 2.19/2.20
GNOME milestone: Unspecified
Subparse doesn't accept SubRip subtitles (.srt) where the index starts from 0
instead of 1. According to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SubRip),
they should start from 1, but I've seen subtitles where index 0 was used for
"credits".
To reproduce, put this into an srt file named the same as a movie:
0
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,000
Test
Then try to play it with a player using GStreamer. Then change the 0 to 1 and
try it again.
A user who doesn't know the SubRip format and tries to play a movie will be
surprised that his subtitles aren't displayed, not knowing that he could edit
the file and delete the entry with index 0 to make it work.
One solution would be a prominent FAQ entry somewhere. Another would be to make
subparse recognise srt with index starting at 0. What do you think?
